He earned a tie for loudest applause from fans during his first day in training camp. Addai sparked the cheer by breaking an early-morning scrimmage run for about 20 yards. "It felt good to come out there and build a little confidence," Addai said. "I just have to keep taking reps and understand what's going on, understand who does what. I'm a team player. Whatever gets the job done, block for the pass, catch the ball, run, I'm going to do."

"Now, with Edgerrin gone, it's an opportunity to get more playing time," Mungro said. "Preparation's even more valuable for me now than it has been the last few years."
